Paid my insurance for another year. I so begrudge paying those bastewards :twisted: they just make prices up as they go along. I got a reminder a couple of weeks ago with a renewal fee of £216.78 and then today I got another one in the post with £226.78 renewal fee. If I go on the online comparison sites it's about £191.94 with the same company, told them this and ended up paying the £216, they gave me some waffle about tax or something.

did mine today as well Carl, the Service Charge of £25 kept coming up and i never got a straight answer about having it renamed given the service I got was total shite, no call backs when arranged, policy details wrong - this really wound me up, there was an endorsement on the policy about being kept in a locked outbuilding, that was the old address and there it was printed on the policy, hence the call I had to make to them. service my butt :evil:

Funnily enough when she asked about any modifications I did admit to aftermarket cans this time around. She asked me if there is any performance boost from them and I said no, just noise, it's a safety thing. :lol: It didn't make any difference to the price. I thought I would admit to the cans as it's a pretty much a standard upgrade for most bikers and they are blatently obvious.
